POWERUP YAMAHA MT-09 WITH AKRAPOVIC RACING LINE EXHAUST

POWERUP YAMAHA MT-09 WITH AKRAPOVIC RACING LINE EXHAUST

We got our hands dirty again with the Hooligan from the Dark Side label the MT-09, now fitted with Akrapovič Racing Line full system exhaust for the Yamaha MT-09. Already a hooligan from the dark side on the street as standard, we now road test the MT-09 Akrapovič fitted.

The Racing Line represents a full step in the exhaust system tuning process and offers optimum performance. Racing performance exhaust systems are designed for riders that demand maximum performance from their motorcycle. The systems are lighter compared to the stock exhaust system and feature exceptional production quality and increased engine performance combined with pure racing sound output. A combination of racing materials like titanium for the muffler outer sleeve give these exhaust systems a racing touch. Imagine you switch on A Mode of the MT-09!

It’s not just about peak power—Akrapovič exhaust systems deliver increased performance throughout the entire rpm range. Increased power and torque result in a much smoother ride. All Akrapovič exhaust system measurements are made on our computer-controlled flowbenches.

Profile:
The passion of riding grew even stronger as I was exposed to all kind of bikes, let it be motocross, enduro, supermoto, superbike, supernaked, even classic bikes. With more than 28 years on the saddle of many bikes, you can expect I will give my honest opinion on all the bikes I have test ridden on road, off-road or on track. Motojournalism is my passion. Love the international press launches. Riding with Valentino Rossi riding an Aprilia even before he became 125 champion, Loris Campirossi, Troy Bayliss at 2012 Ducati Riding Experience (DRE), Jeremy McWilliams Superduke Launch, Tony Cairoli and Jeffrey Herlings in Italy at KTM 2014 off-road launch.
